Yummy!! I loved this soup when I was younger (5) but never made it. I'm glad I did. I took some of the cooked chicken and veggies and blended it to give the soup a more creamy look.

I just made this soup for a Robbie Burns supper. I had never heard of it before...but it went over great. I added rice instead of barley ( I don't like barley), and I seasoned the chicken and gave it a quick sear in a frying pan before adding to the water...just for extra flavour. I also added some bacon to the water for flavour ( I strained this out later). The soup was not bland and thickened up nicely. Thanks for a great starting recipe.

This was my first experience cooking and eating leeks. I like them! The soup was very good, except that for some reason, I couldn't find thighs at the grocery store and I ended up using breasts. I think the thighs would have given more flavor. Next time, I'll use the right chicken part.

This is an excellent basic soup that can easily be modified to personal tastes. I browned the chicken first and added flaxseeds. I didn't have thyme, so I used a mixture of dill, oregano and basil. My only complaint was a whole chopped onion was a bit much. Cutting it down to about 3/4's of an onion worked better.

I also add more barley as stated. I like this soup with cubed potaoes and a squeeze of lemon juice. This hit's the spot! I've made it about 5 times now and it comes out wonderful everytime. Yummy!

This really good. I will definately make this again. I thought 1/3 cup of barley would not be enough so I increased it to 1/2 cup...it was way too much, I should have followed the recipe.

We found this soup to be easy to make but on the boring side. OK if you are looking for something heathy, but I wouldn't call it comfort food.

Added potatoes as well,very nice flavour. The leeks I used were small so the onion flavour was not overwhelming.

very good soup, my friends loved it. I didn't use quite as much leeks as called for because the leeks I found were quite big. It served 12 people with leftovers, it was a good lunch.
